Shadowmount
I ride on the back
Of my inner shadow
Dark mane fluttering
In my mind's storm clouds
Sharp hooves
Carve deep tracks
In my inner plains
You are nothing!
I ride my darkness
It chases forth
I ride in the darkness
All light vanished
I hear the steps
Blind in all directions
I feel its steaming breath
I feel fear take over
I know the raven's call in the fog
It follows, the guardian crow
Guides my way as I hurry on
I hear only wing beats
There are snake tongues
Speaking in my ears
Only those words
The shadows want to hear
I need a light!
My hope is fragile
Hidden, my steps
Gone, my vision
We rode and ran
Leapt over hills
We found a river
The blood of the valley
But my steed only goes on
Forward! Straight as a spruce
One can lead a horse to water...
It is now I dismount this night!
I see a light!
A tiny fire
Is all I need
The raven calls clearly
But don't leave the door ajar
The shadow in the dark lurks
